E ,F Bodian, A, D x 60; B,C x 200; E x 600; F x 350 present. On coronal sections both putamina were atrophic, and showed faint brown discoloration. Several minute lacunae were present in the putamen and globus pallidus. [dokumen.tips]

Also, marked depletion of calcineurin-immunoreactive putaminal efferents was consistently present in the posteroventrolateral portions of the globus pallidus interna (GPi) and externa, and in the ventrolateral portion of the substantia nigra pars reticulata [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hyperthermia

  This case suggests that the hyperthermia of NMS is due to peripheral heat production associated with severe muscular rigidity secondary to withdrawal of striatal dopamine drive, rather than being centrally mediated by the hypothalamus, which is not involved [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Auditory Hallucination

  She also had auditory hallucinations. MRI revealed hypointense T2 signals in the putamina and substantia nigra. T1-weighted MRI demonstrated atrophy of both the pons and cerebellum in addition to atrophy of the putamina and substantia nigra. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment There is no cure for striatonigral degeneration, and treatments for the disorder have variable success. Treatments used for Parkinson's disease are recommended. [ninds.nih.gov]

Treatments, therapies and strategies are available to help people with PSP and their families and carers to make the most of living with the condition. [parkinsonsnsw.org.au]

Treatment No surgical treatment exists for striatonigral degeneration, and pharmacological treatment is not effective in the long term. Approximately 30% of patients demonstrate initial improvement with a medication called levodopa-carbidopa. [encyclopedia.com]

Prognosis Striatonigral degeneration progresses slowly. Some patients have normal life expectancy. x Prognosis Striatonigral degeneration progresses slowly. Some patients have normal life expectancy. [ninds.nih.gov]

The evidence indicates that the more severe the involvement of the autonomic nervous system, and to a lesser extent the striatonigral system, the poorer the prognosis. [ndrf.org]

The majority of patients diagnosed with MSA do not have a good prognosis with an average survival rate of 9 years following disease onset. [emsa-sg.org]

(See Etiology and Pathophysiology.) In 1933, Sherer described 2 cases that likely represented striatonigral degeneration. However, this condition was first definitively outlined in 1961 and 1964 by Adams et al. [emedicine.medscape.com]

For a discussion of epidemiology and pathology, please refer to multiple systemic atrophy (MSA). Striatonigral degeneration presents predominantly with parkinsonism with mild cerebellar and pyramidal and signs. [radiopaedia.org]

Epidemiology The prevalence of multiple system atrophy (including all 3 subtypes) in the United States is difficult to establish because the disease is frequently misdiagnosed; however, the prevalence has been estimated to be 3-5 cases per 100,000 people [emedicine.medscape.com]

Given the relative rareness of MSA and the infrequent misdiagnosis of the disorder, it is not surprising that there is a paucity of careful epidemiological investigations of MSA that allow one to identify predisposing environmental factors. [multiplesystematrophy.org]

Epidemiology MSA is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with an estimated annual worldwide incidence of about 0·6/100,000, rising to 3/100,000 in those aged over 50 years. [ 5 ] Some say that there is no gender difference. [ 2 ] However, others report [patient.info]
